An unprecedented collection, this volume explores Jasper Johns's art and thought, from all periods of his career, through interviews, published writings, working notes he kept in his sketchbooks and recorded conversations with critics and friends. Also included are previously unpublished images from the artist's sketchbooks. As one of the most influential artists of our times, Johns's work has held a key position in the art of the second half of the 20th century, and has had an immense impact on an extraordinarily diverse array of other artists. This compendium of his ideas was collected from a wide range of sources, many of them difficult to access. The provocative originality and subtlety of Johns's thoughts on art are evident throughout, making this book a vital contribution to the study of the artist.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Published in conjunction with the 1996-97 retrospective exhibition of Jasper Johns's work at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, this book is the very first to place this prolific artist in the context of his own words and private writings. This unprecedented collection of notes from Johns's private sketchbooks, published writings, interviews, and conversations with critics, friends, and other writers--many never before published in English--is an indispensable reference work for anyone interested in learning more about this profound American artist. Also included are 51 rare black-and-white photographs of the artist at work.
